As all of you are probably aware there is a southerly change due Sunday just around start time so we are going to look at following options and call it as late as possible , so check your emails over the weekend

1. The southerly is late so we start earlier than normal to get the most of the northerly say around midday (race at Wynnum)
2. The southerly is earlier so we start usual time (race at manly)
3. Comes in at 2 and we are stuffed


So please check email and seabreeze and your email for updates

Forecast hard to call

Race committee has made the call to race from manly at 2.oo pm. If by chance the wind is still from north we will relocate to Wynnum .

A strong wind warning has been issued so throw in your bump and jump gear in case we decide that it is not suitable to race.

See you there

I predict the change to come through at about 3pm. This should make things very interesting(exiting).....

What's the parking like at manly, I noticed they have markets on sundays.

Hi Lee, no drama with the markets, to far from where we sail on the point. If the wind is on, should be a ripper Arvo! Looks like today was perfect.

Thanks Bayside for another great day on the water. Pity about the start boat but them's the breaks. Good on you Mike for having the canastas to get the course set, reminded me of the days when we used to use the little WQ tinnie.

Great sausages from the big grub also. Cheers Jenzy.

Was a quick change. I left Wynnum in a NE and it was SE by the time I drove past Manly

Looks nice and flat for a little way. Can you sail the other side of the wall in a southerly or is it too shallow?

Simon,

I was just trying to remember where you had mentioned getting some long board racing going..

I think in a Bayside email you said something about looking to start this on Saturday afternoons in October. Did you get any interest...? I am keen to join in if this gets going.

cheers,
Alec.

Ben,

the fact that you have photographic evidence that I started last in every race only makes it more painful. I had almost wiped it from my memory.

I think I was daydreaming.

Great shots!! you are in the wrong proffession!

bart, i thought you were just being generous and volunteering as safety officer to keep an eye on everyone, due to the start boat being broken.

was fun to watch the race, might have come keep you company at the back of the pack next time round instead of just trash talking from shore, shorter legs and more gybes would be good thou please.

My legs are short enough

In Bart's defence it was windy, maybe he was drafting and waiting for the most opportune moment to strike.
